Oxton-Oriole Has Gone International...!

Hi Folks:

"Think globally...act locally" or is it "Act globally...think locally," I'm never sure, but one thing is for sure the Oxton Pedestrian Safety Petition has gone international!

Below is a list of some of the countries recent visitors to the site have come from:

• Australia
  
• Belgium
  
• Chile
  
• Costa Rico
  
• Estonia
  
• Egypt
  
• Greece
  
• Guatemala
  
• Hungary
  
• India
  
• Ireland
  
• Malaysia
  
• Mexico
  
• Netherlands
  
• Norway
  
• Portugal
  
• Singapore
  
• Spain
  
• Switzerland
  
• Turkey
  
• United Arab Emirates
  
• United Kingdom
  
• United States

I think we need to apply for a UN seat in New York, don't you? Should the city let us down here on "the ground," I now know that I'll be able to count on international pressure for help!

Seriously, though if you are from another country other then Canada "welcome" to the site. I'm not sure if finding us was just an accident, but if you did look around the site, I'd like to hear from you. Please email me and tell me about what happens in your neighbourhood when your village, city, state government does things that just seem to trample all over everybody.

In reality (no this wasn't a recent discovery - ha ha) our pedestrian safety issue is pretty "small potatoes" in the big scheme of things, but local action by neighbours to correct a bad move by government is a good thing (if you happen to live in place where this is possible).

Toronto really is a great city to live and work (even if I am doing battle with with our local government at the moment) so I hope one day you get an opportunity to visit our fair town!
